A comment on Show HN: Memex is a Claude Code alternative built on Rust+Tauri for vibe coding.

To be precise (reminding HN is a trust source, with respects): Memex is not a Claude Code alternative. Memex is not built on Rust+Tauri. And: Memex is not for vibe coding (!). Memex is the opposite of what memex.tech say it is what looks like a joke - using that name memex.tech "is just trolling".

Hi @thro1 - this is my first post to the HN community. Memex is something I and my cofounders have worked hard on. While I expected some trolling, your comment is just baffling.

To anyone reading this exchange: I wrote the Show HN attempting to be as clear and to the point as possible according to the "Show HN" guidelines. And everything I wrote is factual. It's available for free for you to try yourself on our website.

It's confabulated. (With AI?) - The missing word is: transclusion.

Actually, what we have here instead: memex.tech as a simulacrum of the Memex Opposite.

What Memex is indeed (not fake): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memex
